Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a high-yield and low-pollution process to re-refine used lubricating oils.
  • re-refining means transforming used oils and fats - derived from engines or from other industrial uses - into base oils. Such base oils are then used, after mixing with suitable additives, as new lubricating oils having qualitative features which can be fully compared to those of the oils directly obtained by petroleum refinery.
  • the sulphuric acid process There are substantially two processes, mostly known and adopted in technique, to carry out the re-refining of used oils: the sulphuric acid process and the propane process.
  • the used oils are first of all freed from the water contained therein, and are then purified - with sulphuric acid or, respectively, with propane - to eliminate the other impurities present therein.
  • These last ones substantially consist of compounds with high molecular weight contained in the oil additives, and of metals derived either directly by wear of the metallic parts, or indirectly by the metals present in the fuels or in the oil additives, as for example lead in petrols.
  • the sulphuric acid process was the first one to be conceived and adopted, but is now being dropped due to the considerable pollution problems which it involves. Said process essentially comprises the following steps, as shown on the block diagram of fig. 1:
  • Fig. 1 also indicates the fluid masses flowing into and out of each single block, with reference to an inlet flow-rate of used oils Al equal to 100. This shows that the final yield of the sulphuric acid process does not even reach 60%.
  • composition of said sludges is in fact quite varied and includes - besides sulphuric acid and the hydrocarbon compounds - polymeric compounds with high molecular weight, organic and inorganic compounds of sulphur, chlorine, nitrogen and phosphorus, and heavy metals as chromium, copper, zinc, iron, nickel and lead.
  • the block diagram of this second process is shown in fig. 2, in a way similar to that done for the above described sulphuric acid process; also in this case, the different flows into and out of the single blocks are indicated with reference to a feeding flow-rate of A1 equal to 100.
  • the acid treatment step is totally replaced by an operation B of clarification with liquid propane.
  • Said hydrocarbon can in fact be easily liquefied and has, in this liquid phase, a very low density.
  • propane thus acts thereon as a thinning and fluidizing agent, allowing to easily obtain the separation of a first liquid fraction B1 with high viscosity, containing the high polymers and heavy metals - generally indicated by "asphalts" - from a second liquid fraction B2 consisting exclusively of the clarified and dehydrated oils.
  • the plant of course provides for a depropanizing treatment of the liquid fraction B2, and for the recycle of the propane thus recovered.
  • the successive filtration step C with decolorant earths C1 is carried out with a hot treatment so that, as well as recovering the exhausted earths C2, one also recovers a gaseous fraction C3 consisting of a minor portion of the gas oil contained in B2.
  • the remaining part of gas oil abandons this block together with the decolorized oils C4 and is recovered in D1 in the successive distillation step D.
  • the distillation step D and the final decolorization step E are fully identical to those previously described with reference to the sulphuric acid process.
  • the propane process represents a considerable improvement in respect of the sulphuric acid process, both as far as yield - which has risen to about 68% - and as far as pollution, which is notably reduced. Nevertheless, also this process has some inconveniences.
  • the handling of propane creates problems of safety for the workers on account of its high explosiveness; furthermore, in spite of the above mentioned depropanizing treatments, the heavy fraction of asphalts B1 still shows traces of propane. This even small quantity of propane is sufficient to prevent the use of such asphalts in potentially interesting fields as the roadway or the building field.
  • the asphalts should be considered in every respect as a waste product, which can be disposed of - by previous dilution with gas oil so as to make it sufficiently fluid - only as fuel having a good heat value but a high pollution rate.
  • a typical use thereof is in the casehardening furnaces, already provided with special equipment to depurate the smokes and apt to eliminate also the pollutants present in such asphalts.
  • the light vaporizable fraction of the oils instantly turns into a gas phase, while the heavy fraction stays liquid and collects onto the bottom of the column.
  • the vaporized fraction is then collected and fractionated into the desired cuts in a successive fractionating column.
  • This continuous process allows interesting yields, but involves a series of inconveniences which limit its diffusion. To start with, it requires a pretreatment to purify the used oils so that it can be continued for a fairly long time without having to provide for extra cleaning operations; in particular, the presence of the rotor makes this process very delicate as far as fouling is concerned, and makes periodic maintenance very costly as far as cleaning is concerned. In the second place, said process involves high capital and running costs which do not make it economically competitive in respect of the propane process. Finally - since the height of the thin-film distillation column has to be limited due to the need to fully draw out the rotor for its cleaning - when the process has to be applied to high feeding flow-rates, it requires the use of several parallel columns, without being able to achieve any scale saving.
  • GB-A-2 099 847 discloses an used oil treatment belonging to the state of the art.
  • the inventors of the present patent have thus proposed to themselves the object of preparing a process to re-refine used oils: allowing to reduce or fully abandon the use of reagents which are difficult to eliminate or anyhow harmful for the environment or dangerous for human safety; apt to be carried out with a simple and compact plant, not weighing on the production costs and also allowing to reduce energy consumption; apt to be carried out in a completely static plant, the single components of which should not include any moving parts, highly subject to great fouling problems typical of the used oil treatments; and, finally, apt to increase the still not satisfactory yields of the known processes, both for what concerns the quantity and quality of the recovered oils, and for what concerns the possibility to utilize the by-products in economically profitable uses, apt to make said process globally more advantageous.
  • the process to re-refine used oils differs from the known processes for the fact of having notably simplified the purification treatment and of having combined into a single column all the distillation treatments (which, in the known processes, are carried out into several cascade columns) as well as the operation to separate a heavy fraction containing the high polymers and heavy metals. Moreover, this last separation is carried out by means of a cyclone device positioned in the lower part of the distillation column, which does not provide for the use of any movable parts and is therefore not subject to problems of fouling or blocking, caused by the high viscosity and the special composition of the materials being treated.
  • Fig. 3 reports a block diagram illustrating the main steps of the process according to the invention. Like the similar diagrams of figs. 1 and 2 - illustrating the known processes and already discussed heretofore - this diagram indicates the fluid masses flowing into and out of the single blocks, with reference to a feeding flow-rate of used oils A1 equal to 100.
  • the treatment to purify the used oils from the high polymers and heavy metals includes a pretreatment A with a basic reagent.
  • a reagent preferred for this purpose is NaOH, which is added in A2 and mixed with the oils A1 before the preflash treatment.
  • Said pretreatment does not act directly on the above pollutants, but helps on one hand to saponify the fatty acids present therein, favouring their precipitation, and on the other hand to neutralize the chlorine present both in bound and in free form.
  • the saponification of the fatty acids besides facilitating their elimination by decantation - hence improving the flowability of the system - destroys their volatility and thus prevents said acids from turning into vapour in the distillation column, thereby polluting the oils both directly and with the polluting parts eventually bound thereto.
  • the neutralization of chlorine also preserves the plant from dangerous phenomena of corrosion, lengthening its working life.
  • the successive preflash treatment B involves - as in the processes of known technique - the separation of an oily water flow B1 and a gas oil flow B2. Before being sent to the successive step, the flow of dehydrated oils B3 resulting from the preflash treatment is left to rest for a length of time sufficient to obtain the decantation of the saponified or flocculate parts.
  • the flow of oils, thus treated, is sent to a treatment of thermal deasphalting and of fractional distillation C which simultaneously involves, both the separation of a light phase C1 containing gas oil and of a heavy phase C2 containing the high polymers and heavy metals, and the fractionation of the oils into three cuts C3 of different density.
  • the three cuts thus obtained are sent to the final decolorization treatment D - known per se - into which is fed a flow of decolorant earths D1 and from which the flow of exhausted earths D2 is removed, thereby obtaining a main flow of re-refined oils D3, with a very high yield equal to about 72%.
  • the yield can even rise to 75%.
  • the decolorization of the re-refined oils D3 can be carried out with a hydrogen treatment, also perfectly known in technique.
  • Fig. 4 reports the blocks A and B.
  • the used oils Al are fed through the pump 1 into the preflash column 2.
  • the basic reagent A2 with a flow-rate controlled by the metering pump 3.
  • said reagent preferably consists of NaOH and is added, as a 30% solution, in an amount such as to settle the pH of the used oils - at the outlet of column 2 - at a value between 10 and 13, and preferably between 11.8 and 12.2.
  • the flow-rate of the pump 3 is thus preferably regulated automatically by a pH control device 4 positioned at the outlet of column 2.
  • the used oils A1 and the reagent A2 are then thoroughly mixed into a line mixer 5, and are subsequently preheated to a temperature of about 120°-140°C into the exchanger 6 fed by the steam line VAP.
  • the preflash column 2 is kept under a moderate vacuum degree, equal to about 200 mmHg, by means of an ejector 7 fed by the same steam line VAP.
  • the flow A3 fed into column 2 is then separated into a vapour phase, containing water and gas oil, and into a liquid phase, containing the dehydrated oils and the pollutants.
  • the vapour phase is condensed by the water-cooled condenser 8a and sent to the gravity separator 9.
  • the same separator 9 also receives the steam let out from the ejector 7, after it has been condensed in the condenser 8b.
  • the separator 9 provides to separate an incondensable gaseous phase GAS - which is sent to a high-temperature burner, so as to destroy any gaseous pollutants present therein - from the two already described liquid flows B1 and B2.
  • the water flow B1 slightly oil-polluted, is sent to a biological depuration plant together with the process waters let out of the other parts of the plant. This is actually the only waste product of the process according to the present invention, which does not exceed 4% by weight of the feeding and which creates no particular problems for its proper elimination.
  • the gas oil B2 - of excellent quality, seen that the oils have not been subjected to treatments with polluting reagents - can be introduced in the normal trade channel of fuels.
  • the bottom product B3 of the column eventually condensed by a cooling coil 10, is sent by a pump 11 into a collection tank 12.
  • the dimensions of the tank 12 and the positioning of the inlet and outlet pipes are calculated so that the stay time therein of the flow B3 is at least 48 hours.
  • the saponified fatty acids and the other flocculate parts - thanks to the treatment with NaOH - are able to decant on the bottom of the tank 12, from which they are periodically removed through the drain 13, entraining therewith a certain amount of impurities.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates the thermal deasphalting and fractional distillation treatments carried out on the flow B3 of dehydrated oils.
  • Said oils are first of all heated to a temperature of about 360°C in the methane gas furnace 20.
  • the oils are then fed to the bottom of the fractionating column 21, into which is kept a vacuum degree of at least 10-20 mmHg (at the top of the column), thanks to a main ejector 22a, series connected to two secondary ejectors 22b and 22c, all fed by the VAP line.
  • the heated and partially vaporized oils are sent to the top of a cyclone device 23, positioned in the lower part of the column 21 and consisting of an open-spiral channel leading down around a large central tube which connects the bottom part of the column to its part immediately above.
  • the vapour phase released from the cyclone 23, moves up along the column 21, meeting four successive filling packs 25, positioned over respective collection plates 26, which allow - in known manner - to let through the vapour phase which rises towards the top, and to retain the liquid which has condensed.
  • the fractionating column 21 of the present invention has been conceived so as to allow cutting the inlet flow into a head fraction, substantially containing the process vapour and the gas oil, and into three intermediate cuts (indicated by C3/I, C3/II and C3/III) of re-refined oils of different density, ready for the different commercial uses, as well as into the already described tail fraction C2.
  • the filling should have a very low flow resistance (5-10 mm Hg at most, for each pack) and a high gas/liquid contact surface.
  • An extremely positive result has been obtained by using a metal filling consisting of side-by-side, superposed, accordion-folded metal sheets, forming zig-zag channels allowing the vapours to rise, of average size from 1 to a few centimeters.
  • a filling of this type, made from stainless steel, is produced by Glitsch Italiana - Campoverde di Aprilia (Latina), Italy - and is known on the market under the trade name GEMPACK.
  • the liquid cut collected on the top plate 26a namely the plate positioned under the first filling pack 25, is reflowed by the pump 27a into a column zone just below said plate and, after having been cooled into the water exchanger 28, it is sent to the head of the column 21.
  • the portion exceeding the requirement of the reflux is collected in C1, as gas oil, to be put on the market together with the flow B2 separated in the previous preflash step.
  • the liquid cuts collected on the two underlying plates 26b and 26c are reflowed into the column zones just below said plates, through the circulation pumps 27b and, respectively, 27c.
  • the portion of these two liquid cuts exceeding the reflux requirements are sent to separate parts of a stripping column 29 formed of three different sections, into one of which also flows directly the cut collected on the bottom plate 26d.
  • the three cuts are purified even further, in a countercurrent of steam fed from the VAP line and superheated in the furnace 20.
  • the cuts collected in the stripping column 29 are finally sent to the collection tanks by the pumps 30b, 30c and 30d, after cooling into air coolers 31.
  • the separator 33 the gas oil phase escaped from the head of the column 21 is separated from the process water phase and from the incondensable gases.
  • the gas oil is fed in C1; the water flow 34 is recycled to the steam production boilers after having possibly undergone a depollution treatment; while the incondensable gases are sent into GAS and then into a combustion furnace to eliminate any possible polluting gases.
  • the asphalt flow C2 - thanks to the total absence of solvents and for the very fact of containing, as vehicle of the pollutants, a fraction of very heavy and viscous oils (bright stock) - can be marketed, in an economically interesting way, to form bituminous roadbeds, to which it confers special elastomeric and deadening characteristics.
  • the process to re-refine used oils according to the present invention is thus particularly advantageous compared to the processes of known technique.
  • the process of the present invention is highly competitive, as results from the following comparison Table reporting the costs of the expendable products, as well as the costs for the disposal of the waste products, which - as can be seen - are altogether 25% in respect of the costs met with the sulphuric acid process, and 60% in respect of those met with the propane process.
  • the waste products of the process merely consist of the water separated from the oils in the preflash step. Said water forms a very small fraction - about 4% - of the initial feed Al, and anyhow creates, as seen above, no ecological problems as far as disposal is concerned.
